Founder Jake Cortez was a college linebacker who couldn’t find a gym in Durango that matched his training standards. So he built one. Iron Summit opened in a converted warehouse in 2016 with squat racks, deadlift platforms, and a whiteboard.
Eight years later, the gym has grown to 15,000 square feet with a full coaching staff, recovery zone, and a community of over 1,200 members. The whiteboard is still there.
